We focus on parametric (with respect to a running coupling or \"complexity\" parameter) stochastic processes that are capable of relaxing towards a stationary regime (e. g. equilibrium, invariant asymptotic measure). In view of ergodic property, that makes them appropriate for the study of short-range fluctuations in any disordered, randomly-looking spectral sequence (as exemplified e. g. by empirical nearest-neighbor spacings histograms of various quantum systems). The pertinent Markov diffusion-type processes (with values in the space of spacings) share a general form of forward drifts $b(x) = {{N-1}\\over {2x}} - x$, where $x>0$ stands for the spacing value. Here $N = 2,3,5$ correspond to the familiar (generic) random-matrix theory inspired cases, based on the exploitation of the Wigner surmise (usually regarded as an approximate formula). N=4 corresponds to the (non-generic) non-Hermitian Ginibre ensemble. The result appears to be exact in the context of $2\\times 2$ random matrices and indicates a potential validity of other non-generic $N>5$ level repulsion laws.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2001-10-01T17:07:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum chaos", "pertinent markov diffusion-type processes", "randomness", "signatures", "empirical nearest-neighbor spacings histograms" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Acta Physica Polonica B", "year": 2002, "month": "Apr", "volume": 33, "number": 4, "pages": 1001 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002AcPPB..33.1001G" } } }
